As of July 1 2009 through September 30 2009, Frisco Texas has mandated new water restrictions in effort to conserve water:

Frisco Texas residents can water their outdoors TWICE a week: Once on trash days and an additional day. Your additional watering schedule day are as follows:

If Your Trash Day Is:	Your Additional Watering Day Is:
Monday	Thursday
Tuesday	Saturday
Wednesday	Saturday
Thursday	Sunday
Friday	Tuesday

Each year, starting Daylight Saving Time through June 30, a twice a week outdoor watering schedule is recommended. It becomes mandatory for the months of July, August and September.

Please do not water between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. and again between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

The City of Frisco will disconnect your water service if you do not adhere to the mandatory watering schedule. For the first violation, you will pay a $25 fine. The second violation will set you back $250.

It is recommended that 0.5" of water is needed for our Frisco Texas lawns. If we receive rain of that, then no additional watering is needed. If you are not sure how much rain we received that week, just check out the Frisco Water Wise website.

Recommended Lawn Watering Method:

Most homeowners water their lawn for 30 minutes 2 or 3 times per week in one cycle. Did you know that that is an inefficient way of watering your yard?

The ground is hot during the day and as your sprinkler turns out, the water is dissipated part as evaporation and part into the ground. It only promotes short growth of grass roots at the surface level because that is where most of the water are all the time.

Instead, if you consider breaking up the long one-time cycle into two or three cycles, this is a much more efficient way of establishing a healthy lawn.

In the picture above, the first cycle of 6 minutes "wets" the top soil and the second cycle of 6 minutes takes the water further into the ground since the top layer is already saturated. If you wish, you can set the sprinkler system for another third cycle of 6 minutes to water even more. The roots grow where the water is. If the water is deep in the ground, the roots grow deep also. This promotes a much more established and healthy lawn.

Also, this is a much more efficient way of watering the lawn once a week, rather than in one 30-minute cycle.

Did you know the City of Frisco offers free irrigation check-up for your sprinkler system? In this evaluation, the specialist will share with you important information about your sprinkler system and how to water effectively to maximize the usage of our precious water. Too much water does not necessarily make a healthy lawn. In fact, it's downright wasteful for your bank account and our natural resources.

Did you know the North Texas Municipal Water District supplies water to city of Frisco? Our primary source comes from Lake Lavon located in Lavon - a town east of Frisco. A small source comes from Jim Chapman Lake. In 2009, our current lake capacity is approximately 97%.

Did you know you can anonymously report water violations or emergencies? Call the Public Works at 972-292-5800. Violations are such as excessive waste that creates constant stream of water away from lawn, watering during rain or freezing temperatures, mis-angled sprinkler head watering the roads instead of the yard.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Read about what our satisfied clients have to say:

When she arrived for our appointment, we went through the normal preliminary procedures and all was fine. Then she surprised us. She had already done most of the work and only needed to take a few pictures of the inside and determine the price that we would be comfortable asking. She also spent a great deal of time explaining to us how the whole sales process work and what we could expect.

Eric & Tomoko Quere, Plano TX

Ultimately, Loreena introduced us to the house we bought--it was not one we found from our own hours of searching web listings--based on the the comments we had made while we visited these different homes. This is a testimony to her ability to listen well and to work proactively on our behalf.

Jenn & Glen Miller, Denton TX

We were completely impressed with Loreena. She helped us find and buy a home in Frisco. We have very high expectations from a realtor and she surpassed them. Knows her market extremely well, not just the technical market pricing data, but the nuances of all the neighborhoods as well. One of the most responsive and professional persons I've met in my entire business career.

Ruth & Jerry Meek, Frisco TX

I just want to thank you again for your help in selling our house. In this tough economy and market, I really didn't expect to get an offer. But you counseled me so well in pricing the house to sell and yet not letting me accept an offer that was too low. I believe we got the best deal we could have. I was so pleased and surprised with what we walked away with.

Sally & Phillip Barnard, Frisco TX
